SUET PASTRY

Mix all the diced lamb with the spices in a large bowl and leave preferably overnight. Heat a pan and add a little clarified butter. Add the chopped onion and sweat off. Add the meat and brown lightly. Add the flour.

Pour over boiling stock and orange juice. Stir in well. Add all the dried fruit, coriander, orange zest and garlic and season. Add the sugar and lemon juice. Bring to the boil, place a tight fitting lid on top and cook for around 90 minutes.

When the dish is cooked transfer to a bowl and leave to cool.

This dish is best prepared several days ahead so that the flavours have time to intensify.

Make the suet pastry. Roll out thinly and line small pudding moulds. Pack in the meat, fruit and sauce. Seal well and steam for 90 minutes until the pastry is cooked. Turn out and serve.

This dish is delicious served with braised red cabbage and steamed cheese and chive potatoes.
